Walmart to Increase Prices ‘On a Week-to-Week Basis’ Due to Trump Tariffs: Report - Lemmy.ca

Are we getting close enough yet to the hyperinflation stage of Nazi Germany for experts to consider this an issue?
Not quite yet, but as Trump increases his grip on the Federal Reserve, which should reach a tipping point when he appoints a new Chairman in May of 2026, you can bet 100% that monetary policy will hyperinflation on a level never before seen in the U.S… Expect >50% annual inflation level.

Yippee!!! 50% increase! So you’re saying I should buy all the bread and eggs right now, store them until May of next year, and then I’ll be a billionaire, too???

Me in December: this place smells like shit…

A better strategy is to buy real assets like gold and silver, which not only hold their value with inflation, but generally tend to explode in price as people wake up and pile in.
You people have been saying this for 100 years. It’s gonna be true aaaaaany day now…
It was true during the Great Depression and the Weimer Republic. I think Trump’s profile would neatly slot into both of their shapes, if we are to predict the future.
